Configure the switch
Plus Gigabit Ethernet Switches are plug-and-play, so they can be used without any
configuration. Just connect power, connect to your network and to your other devices,
and you’re done.
For easiest access, we recommend that you cable the switch to a network with a router
or DHCP server that assigns IP addresses and power on the switch. However, it is also
possible to configure the switch connected directly only to the computer that you are
using to configure it, and not connected to the network (off-network).
You can configure and manage advanced features of the switch by using your computer’s
web browser and accessing the switch at its IP address.
If you use a Mac or a 64-bit Windows-based computer, you can use the NETGEAR Switch
Discovery Tool to discover the switch in your network and access the local browser–based
management interface of the switch.
If your Mac supports Bonjour, you can use Bonjour to discover the switch in your network
and access the local browser interface of the switch.
For more information, see the following sections:
•
Access the switch using a web browser on page 7
•
Use the NETGEAR Switch Discovery Tool to access the switch on page 9

Access the switch from a Mac using Bonjour on page 11
Access the switch using a web browser
This manual describes how to use the local browser–based management interface,
referred to as the device UI.
You can access and configure the switch directly through its device UI by entering the
IP address of the switch in the address bar of a browser. When you access the device
UI to configure the switch, it's simpler if the switch is not connected to your network
